Gutted with the impossibility of seeing both Wolf Alice & Jungle on the friday due to time over laps.

I have heard that Wolf Alice are going to be playing in Williams Green on the Thursday, but its not on the announcement?

can anyone confirm the time they are on?

Also, how can one find the Williams Green area?? and how busy will it be on the Thursday?

Well done to William's Green for bagging the excellent Phantom Band and East India Youth for Sunday, sadly I can't see these two due to clashes, but they're both great, The Phantom Band are particularly good live. I'll be, bright and early for Nadine Shah on Saturday morning. I love WG.

We got there about 10 minutes before The 1975 last year (we got lost and ended up walking up and down the path where the Bandstand and Cider Bus are several times) and it was really busy. It was quite easy to work our way to 3-4 rows outside the tent though and by halfway through their set we were in the tent. There was a big exodus after their set so we got a decent spot for Metronomy.

Basically, get there early if you want a good spot in the tent.

William's Green is great but it's tiny and a bit out of the way. They always have a killer line-up though.

For the Thursday secret sets, get there early and set up camp because it fills up fast. I was on the fringe of the tent for Metronomy and it was quality despite not being able to see a thing.

As others have pointed out, Northern Soul night on Saturday (followed by another Northern Soul night at Jag'z Acid Lounge) should be a winner.

Shame they are not showing it on one of the outside stages then, so that as many people could watch it as wanted to, like they did with the World Cup on the Wednesday in 2010 (not suggesting Pyramid is appropriate for this screening, but one of the other stages)

Can anyone remember how rammed that area was and how hot it was for Two Door Cinema Club back in 2010 ?

I seem to remember Maximo Park played their once and that was just as bad

I wonder if they will ever consider put a screen or two up outside the tent. They have a nice area to site outside Williams Green - you can sit down and hear whats going on inside the tent but it might be good if you could see it as well for when the tent gets rammed, especially late at night, Then again, it could get rammed outside the tent as well, which could be a H&S issue as it gets a lot of traffic through it

It wasn't much fun when the Vaccines played in there in 2013 especially as they were late so another guy played a set before they came on. You could hardly breathe in the place.

It totally depends on the popularity of the acts that on in their

As I said it the tent and area around it were rammed for Maximo Park and Two Door Cinema Club.

If there is a popular act or people hear rumours about a possible act then yes it will be busy.

If its me and the cat doing a duo it will be quiet , if the rumour mill starts and they thinks it Pulp or whatever it will be rammed even it is just me and the cat

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By StephenF · Posted

      Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.

      Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December).

      After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
